Today's Song... Yeh Hosla

Song ; Yeh Hosla

Movie : Dor

Music. : Salim-Sulaiman.

Lyrics. : Mir Ali Hussain

Singer : Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan, Salim Merchant (backup)

I watch all kinds of movies.. even the bad ones…. There is one category of movies which I call ‘miracle’ movies…

Aamir, Dor, Jhankar Beats, Bheja Fry, Hyderabad blues to name a few… these are movies that make you feel wonderful and also sometimes leave a new thought in your head to linger on…

Dor was a surprise and unfortunately I could watch the movie in theatre. It is a very inspiring movie and the music is brilliant too.

All the songs are different whether it is Kesariya Balam or Iman ka Asar (Shreya Ghoshal & Sunidhi Chauhan).

Kesariya and all its versions deserve another piece. For now it a folk song originally composed by Shantanu Moitra and this one is a reworked version by Salim Sulaiman.

The song Yeh Hosla has a very good video as well. It is sung by Amanat Ali Khan who is a part of Pakistani band Fuzon (their song Khamaj is superb) . His voice is mesmerizing, the perfect singer for this one. And the song… it is like lift up… soothing and inspiring…. Very few instruments are used here.. it is voice that carries it to your heart…

Yeh Hosla Kaise Jhuke, Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke

In a way hope and faith are always within us.. during hard times we need more strength to find them…

Manzil Mushkil to kya, dhundla Sahil to kya,

Tanha Ye Dil to Kya.. Ho Hooo

Sometimes we cannot even see where we are headed to… but hope leads us on

Raah Pe Kante Bikhre agar, Uspe to phir bhi chalna hi hai,

Shaam Chhupale Suraj magar, Raat ko ek din Dhalana hi hai,

Do we really have the choices.. do we really decide… I think it is more like the path is there… filled with impossible looking hurdles.. our only choice is whether we stay where are and wait for the miracle or take the path and be the miracle…

Rut ye tal jayegi, Himmat rang layegi,

Subha phir aayegi… Hoooo

Those tiny moments in life which bring a smile and make us happy… yes they are there and they make you happy too… so though right now seems like an ordeal it will pass…

Hogi hame jo rehmat ada, Dhup kategi saaye tale,

Apni khuda se hai ye Dua, Manzil lagale humko gale

That vision of paradise is in our minds.. different for each one… yet the place that we want to be in…it drive us… and that is what creates the hope within….

Zurrat so baar rahe, Uncha Ikraar rahe,

Zinda har pyar rahe… Hoooo

And no matter how many times we falter… to go on is life…

Yeh Hosla Kaise Juke, Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke
